Ask Rackmount Ranger: Why did I get a different current monitor on my reorder?
This is a good question. Here is what happened:
1. In 2006, our manufacturer came out with a new version of the digital current display. This unit displayed four different parameters (Amps, Volts, Watts, and Power Factor) in a rotating/scrolling format.
2. Since the new display was intended to replace the older display, no changes were made to the part numbers of those units containing the display.
3. Many clients preferred the old display, and prevailed on the manufacturer to offer it as well.
4. The manufacturer agreed and is now offering the old display which gave a steady display of Amps only.
5. Since all the part numbers were now being used to note the inclusion of the new scrolling display, the manufacturer created new part numbers for those units with the old style display.
Now that you are thoroughly confused, here is a summary of the situation. The old part numbers are for the new scrolling display (four parameters). The new part numbers are for the old style display. If you want the scrolling display, the part number has a C in it. If you want the older current display (Amps), the part number has an A in it.
